Big butts on male characters, it's making me uncomfortable (pics)

Ok, soooo my character looked good just chilling being a Jedi Sentinel leveling and what not. I put on a certain chest piece and suddenly my butt went from flat, to phat. What the hell is going on here? It only happens on certain chest pieces on robes, it is REALLYYYY annoying after a while. I wouldn't have a problem with it if i was playing a girl character but its a male!

Do you mean awkward as in it's strange to see such body shapes? Or, do you mean it's awkward how you're feeling about this man body before you?

little bit of both actually, for one it is really bothersome to look at a piece of your body sticking out like that; and second it's just a little weird......

Welcome to how most women feel over how female characters are displayed in the overwhelming majority of games.

 

That said, the 'booty' effect is for a very real reason. The robes have physics collision detection and there has to be space between the robe and the character model, especially in high-movement areas. You'll notice it's fitted just so it doesn't clip over the most bulky trousers available.

It's unfortunate but there aren't many workarounds to that while keeping the floaty physics. :(

 

This seems completely untrue. The robes only balloon out into a giant *** when standing still, you could set the wireframing right next to the body and make it look normal when idle. When you're running or jumping it looks fine with minimal clipping.

 

How can this only affect idle standing?! When you're not moving is when you can control clipping the MOST. There's no movement or animation to worry about!

Awkward as in, it shouldn't hang like that unless male Jedi/Sith routinely have HUGE butt-implants.

 

 

It might be a clipping issues, but whatever the reason it looks plain daft.

Your character doesn't have big butt, bioware's modeler / rigger mess up with the rigging. (set the null or skeleton too high.)

 

The robe has cloth physical and it interact with the environment and they mess it up.
